passengers they had to unload and convey
them BY road wagons 100 miles The rail-
roads would work night and day until they
had the two systems united. The United
States owns q splendid system Of canals,
rivers and lakes in the east and north. In
the south and west they own Is, 900 miles of
navigable rivers. Yet, in order to inter
change merchandise, they nave TO unload
and transport overland a distance Of eighty
miles. Are we working night and day to
make this short connecting link? No. But
the railroad companies are TO obstruct it.
The United States engineers have made the
survey of the canal our times, and each
time they report that the work can be lone
in two years at a cost of $S,000,0 600. There is
no great question before the country at
present. We are at peace with ourselves
and the balance of the world. The two most
important bills to be presented to Con-
gross will be the leyce and canal
bill. 1t should be the pride and
desire of the Democrats while in power to
connect their names with those two great
public works. Just say TO the gentlemen OF
the convention that thousands of their fell
low citizens are anxiously awaiting their de-
alterations. Should their ripe experience,
wisdom and influence be the means of reviv-
ing the business on the nayigablc rivers, the
building of the Mississippi levees, and the
construction of the Hcnnepin canal, so
long as the levecs stand, so long will the
great waterways convention held in Memphis
in 1887 be remembered with affection and
respect

A FAILURE TO enforce the law has
brought il into contempt in West Vir-
ginia and forced whole community into
n defense Of It's rights OF property and life
by the swift and certain methods OF Judge
Lynch. This is to be deplored. Not
merely because il has a bad effect abroad,
but because IL has the effect OF lesscning
the power of the law and loosenIng its
hold upon the masses rs the final arbi.cr
between MAJ and man and the prop and
stay Of the State. Capital and thrift avoid
every place that is thus self-labeled. Judge
Lynch not only murders men, he kills in
duslry. And so do people who cannot
tolerate men for opinions sake. They
kill industry and brighten capital away;
and the same il true Of communities too

THE WATERWAYS CONVENTION,

THE WATERWAYS CONVENTION,
Which will be convene cd today in the hall
oil 1.-THE Young Mems Hebrew association, il,
for Memphis, as well rs the country below
and above upon the Mississippi river, an
important gathering. To il has been com
mitted by the people of the Mississippi
valley the consideration of the most avail
able and best methods of river improve
ment and the proper presentation Of those
methods TO Congress, with n view 10 sccur-
ing government aid. There is no work
iostcrcd by government more impor-
tant than this work that is more
needed. The Mississippi river is as essen
tial TO the OF the valley as the
Atlantic ocean il 10 the commerce Of the
coast. As far back MS 1915, when the first
commercial convention that ever assem-
bled, met in Memphis, n scheme Of river
improvement was among the things II dis
cussed and Endorsed, even 80 strict u con
structionist ~ Mr.. Calhoun indorsing
il because lac regarded the Mississippi as u
great inland sea. Tho position taken by
President Cleveland In his speech in Court
square encourages the belief that he is
now sensible Of the necessity for the i'm
provcment Of the Mississippi, and that II is
n
Of right a work Of the general government.
That Congress iavors IL there can DO no
doubt Tho willingness with which IL has
appointed commissioners and made appro-
preparations is n sure guarantee on that
head. Tho work Of the convention IL
therefore simpliied to an Endorsement Of
the plans that have proven % effective un
der the guidance Of the United States en-
gincers, Of mattresses and spur dykes.

This strong, romantic Irish drama, "My

work Of BARLEY Campbell, will hold the
boards at the Memphis theatcr the remain
der Of this week, including the regular
matinee Saturday. The company is an
especially strong one. each m~cmbcr-even
those with the most minor parts-striying
TO maintain the dramatic structure in all its
solidity. my Geraldine is n creature OF
this season, its introduction In New York
being marked with a ilatteringly successful
and long run. The name is derived from a
bright, sunshiny little character in the play,
who justly wins the hearts and abiding
friendship Of everyone with whom she comes
in contact. II is hard to invent a new
thread or plot for an Irish drama, so thor
oughly has the field Of romance been searched
and utilized, but Mr.. Campbell has invested
"My Geraldine with strong dialogue. thrill
ing situations, beautiful songs, captivating
and appropriate dances, and exciting cli-
makes, rendering a partially old, but ever
pleasing story a~bsorbingly interesting. There
is the bright, winsome lassic, the brave,
faithful soldier lover, the devoted parents.
the ever sympathetic friends, and lastly the
most consummate of villains, two in number.
These surround the lives Of two heroines,
the second being My Geraldine, daughter
Of Mary Carroll, who figures ~ heroine No.

play Is assigned strongly essential parts.

TIm Episcopal church congress, now in
session in Louisville, Is one Of the most
conservative Of the unofficial bodies OF the
country. It's tone and temper is always
very dignificd, the papers read are very
scholarly and the discussions are models
Of parliamentary debate. The liturgy and
literature of the church tend in this dircc-
ton. The services, so well ordered, take
men away from the passion and excite
mont OF every day life, andadmonish them
10 the calmncss and considcratcness that
aro essential To careful thought and candid
expression. The greatest aid TO this end is
the Book Of Common Prayer. II Is a vital
izing and sp~iritualizing force and, with the
King James version Of the Bible has, with
shakespeare plays, preserved the integ-
rity and strength Of our language. II has
